"i'm not your friend." classic AJ

[@pooppancake8750]

That really was fucking so quick and perfect delivery lol

[@Numinor31]

Classic Jeselnik... altho Russell shoulda seen it comin :)

[@cyborgoftheyear]

that was the best part

[@cyborgoftheyear]

@@pooppancake8750 yeah he made it look like it was something Peters says often and Jeselnik is getting sick of it lol

[@anthonyzullo]

What if...hear me out....what if he legit is not his friend and dislikes him, but agent set him up for this gig to get KZbin press? Like how they go on sumbass public access tv to get people to their shows.

[@sucklemyknuckle7941]

"youre russell peters, youre a legend"...."eventually"......"in some countries".......lol, gold

[@nobodyfromnowwhere7510]

I laughed and i am chronically ill, so that is a genuine compliment.

Yea loser bet u cant even reply now because your conditions worsened and your on the deathbed surrounded by family ya loser

[@leiasart4610]

@@daandemeyer1708 That's just his humour, he's extremely dry. It's probably the truth but he definitely didn't mean it seriously :D

[@AGentertainmentofficial]

"I'm not your friend." Laughed at that more than I should have.

[@zombiemachinery4868]

I did that as a joke to a teacher in front of everybody and he took it badly, I guess I bombed :(

Anthony Jeselnik, my favorite comedian I probably wouldn't want to talk to one on one, lol. Id probably leave in tears

[@NoR3m0rs3]

"you think thats a bombing" haahha

[@69Delphine420]

Jeselnik is my favorite comedian by far

[@civoreb]

The fucking goat. Hes so brutal, he hits all the sensitive people we live with nowadays. And im in tears every time

[@jimbeam4140]

Me too, but not by far.

[@EnglishMasterMRH]

"I'd like to thank my friend Anthony Jeselnik for being here today." "Not your friend." XD Classic deadpan Jeselnik timing the whole way through! Jeselnik is like what Leslie Neilsen would've been had he had the comedic sensibilities of a misanthropic land shark. (In other words, he's awesome.)

[@amelifehacks]

Watching Anthony break for a moment when Russel says "thats a bombing" was a rare moment.

[@LordOfDays]

The "club security" story was a gem.

[@charliefoster4126]

These are two of my favorite comics and its cool to see them chat. Russell for his ability to do humor about peoples background and race but do it with love and respect and Anthony for presenting such a dark character on stage and for all of the clever dark twists he puts in his jokes. Quite enjoyed this clip.

[@spidercat2841]

When I die I want Anthony to deliver my eulogy

[@Bobby.Kristensen]

"X X, a guy who barely could get anything done except writing comments on KZbin and YouPorn. Great guy."

I could see him stand for 10 minutes straight...... Chewing gum.....aaaanndd times up.

[@stringsbytoby]

I like Russell Peters, but Paul F. Tompkins is surely missed. PFT is the best comedian interviewer, and he was what brought me to this channel.

[@josh-sh2pi]

I am also disappointed PFT is gone, but I'm thankful the show is still going and getting awesome people like Jeselnik. IMO, Peters should yield to his guest a little more often. I thought that's what made PFT so great.

[@girthymcfatkid3870]

I love watching comedians that actually understand why "what" is funny discuss the process without trying to be funny while doing it. Turning it off to analyze it. I've seen this a dozen times over the past few years.

[@djd829]

4:52 "The only time I feel like I'm bombing is if I turn on the crowd"... every amateur comedian should take this advice. It only gets more awkward after that. I would also love for him to show up at my birthday.

[@Currymastuh]

Reading the comments makes me wonder if everyone saying how much Russell "sucks" is incapable of understanding that this is Russell's second time interviewing somebody. Give him a chance. He did a decent job, and like with every other job, people get better with practice.
